Slack API integration with managed OAuth. Send messages, manage channels, search conversations, and interact with Slack workspaces. Use this skill when users want to post messages, list channels, get user info, or automate Slack workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Slack

Access the Slack API with managed OAuth authentication. Send messages, manage channels, list users, and automate Slack workflows.

Quick Start

# Post a message to a channel
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'channel': 'C0123456789', 'text': 'Hello from Maton!'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/{method}

The gateway proxies requests to `slack.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Slack OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=slack&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'slack'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

**Response:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "slack",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Slack connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'channel': 'C0123456789', 'text': 'Hello!'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ channel: 'C0123456', text: 'Hello!' })
});
const result = await response.json();
console.log(result);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={'channel': 'C0123456', 'text': 'Hello!'}
)
print(response.json())

---

Notes

Channel IDs: `C` (public), `G` (private/group), `D` (DM)

User IDs start with `U`, Bot IDs start with `B`, Team IDs start with `T`

Message timestamps (`ts`) are unique identifiers

Use `mrkdwn` type for Slack-flavored markdown formatting

Thread replies use `thread_ts` to reference the parent message

Cursor-based pagination: use `cursor` from `response_metadata.next_cursor`

Shell Notes

IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing

IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Slack connection |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Slack API |

**Missing Scope Errors:** If you encounter `missing_scope` errors, contact [Maton Support](mailto:support@maton.ai) to request additional scopes for your connection.

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `slack`. For example:

Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage`

Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/api/chat.postMessage`
